Evan is a great host. The directions provided were top notch! I just handed my phone to my taxi driver. When I wanted to tour the city, I easily found a motorcycle taxi and got to the BTS station Sala Daeng. The air con worked perfectly and best when I closed the kitchen and bathroom doors. The fan helped cool the flat. Shampoo and soap are provided :-). There is an automated water station selling filtered water (BYOB) for 1 baht across the Soi as well as three laundry machines (no soap or dryer but Evan kindly provides a drying rack; plan to let clothes dry overnight). The 7-11 is super handy for toiletries, laundry soap and a lot more. It's a great location even if it's not within walking distance to BTS. Great stay. Highly recommend.
